Attention, Members OF school
board.
Notice is hereby given that special
meeting of the school Board Of the
parish of Calcasieu is called for Friday,
November IL, 1887, at 2 o'clock p. M;
sharp. ]. W. BRYAN,
President School Board.
Read the professional card in an
other column of VIM. F. schwing,
Esq, who offers his services to the
public as an attornoy.st-Iaw. Mr..
Schwiug's references are of the best
and we have no doubt that it will be
but a short time before be will build
up lucrative practice.
Mr.. Emile Alline having sold out
bis jewelry business will leave for
New York in few days where he
will purchase stock of goods in
new line of business. The Echo
wishes Mr.. Alli1e much success in any
undertaking be may embark, as he
is a worthy gentleman and a good
citizen.
As so much has been said by our
Reform friends about Gov. McEnery's |
personalism in appointing police jurors
throughout the State, and to refute
charges made about the appointees in
this parish, we will state that our
police jury at present is composed of
FIVE McEDery and three anti-McEnery
men.
An energetic man with some means
could make money by embarking in
the oyster business in our town on an
extensive scale, whereby families could
be supplied at living prices, for as it
is at present our people are compelled
to pay at the rate of from $l.20 TO
$L5O per hundred, and that too for
very inferior article of oysters.
J. Preston Hampton, Esq, a stauncb
McEnery man and a worthy citizen and
member of the police jury of our
neighboring parish of CaIcasieu, stop
ped in on US Thursday morning last,
looking hale and hearty. He was on
bis way to PlaquemlDe Brulee to visit
bis father-in law, T. A. Andrus, who is
at present quite sick.-Ray@e Signal.

Hon. A. ]. Perkins presented US
during the past week with samples of
a second crop of figs and pears raised
in his orchard just below town on the
Lake front. The figs were of the
blue variety and of good size, and the
pears, though small, were well deyel'
oped, and shows coDclusively that two
crops of many varieties of fruit can
be easily raised in CaIcasieu parish,
--------------------
The beautiful and bracing weather
of the past week has been the means
of bringing many people from the
country wards to town, which has
given our streets crowded appearances
and furnished the merchants with
something to do iu the way Of selling
goods, A majority of those that we
conyersed with Cd politics, join il
saying that their respective neIgbbor
, hoods arc solid for McEDery,
| Mr.. Thomas Mitchell, of Crow Lake
Dakota, passed through our city LAS
Monday with some fine horned stock
He was taking them to bis farm a few
miles below the city. In order t.
y save fine stock brought here from th'
North they must be kept off th'
J range and out of the bot sun the frs
year. In other words they must b.
y well cared for and given good an
wholesome food to be healthy an
y prosperous.
